Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AustraliaEverything was great with a small exception being the room bar fridge, not airtight.
Great view over city of Lipari, within walking distance of everything you need (just). Our hosts Gabriel & Paolo (sons) were super friendly & the personal pick up & drop off from father Lorenzo were super appreciated & done with a smile! The spacious common terrace was a great place to take it all in.

Czech RepublicWe had a great time! Perhaps the gardens could use a little more attention...
We spent 2 nights and our stay was fantastic. The room was clean and well equipped. There are beautiful painted pictures throughout the hotel and the terrace for breakfasts was just spectacular! Staff was very friendly too. I highly recommend this place!

CanadaThe beds were not very comfortable and there were not many exterior lights so we had to be careful getting to our room after dark.
Hotel Villa Diana was a wonderful place to stay. The villa is beautiful- surrounded by garden and citrus trees with a beautiful terrace overlooking the city and with a view of the sea. Each room has its own private exterior entrance and mini terrace. Our guest room itself was spacious, clean and functional. However the bed was not very comfortable. The villa has a beautiful breakfast room filled with paintings by Edwin Hunziker, which were a delight to look at each morning. On nice days the breakfast is served outside on the terrace. Breakfast is continental-style and the spread is very good. There were lots of options of pastries, cookies, and savoury foods along with homemade jams and marmalades. It was the best breakfast of all the places we stayed in Sicily. Hotel Villa Diana is about a 10 min walk to one of the main shopping and dining streets in Lipari and a 15-20 min walk to the port, so the location is convenient but also private and quiet.

NetherlandsThe beds were quite hard, which we weren't used to. Also the WiFi wasn't very reliable, but I think that has nothing to do with the hotel itself. It's a problem of the islands, we had the same on Stromboli.
Beautiful location with best view on the island! Our room had its own little terasse, and the whole place is like being in an enormous Garden of Eden. The host was very friendly.

SwedenAbsolut nothing to complain about. The location is amazing but it also demands some walking up hills to reach this villa. Particularly heavy luggage can be a problem, if you use google map and misses the convenient short cuts (google map shows the map for cars). If luggage is a problem call Villa Diana they will most certainly pick you up at the harbour.
Fantastic villa up in the mountains of Lipari. Very helpful and service minded staff. You can book the room with or with out breakfast. I booked with out breakfast. The room had the traditional Italian beddings (which is a little hard). The room had a fridge and very well working internet, no problem to see Youtube. Attached to the room was an amazing terrace with a great view over Lepari. The garden has nice flowers. Transport down to the harbour at departure free of charge.

IsraelThe climbing up to the hotel. Note that the hotel is on a hill and there are also steps from the street level up to the reception.
The villa is very elegant and nicely decorated and the views to the old city from the common terrace are stunning. The breakfast is simple but nice. Location is good - a 10 minutes walk to the city center. All in all, good value for money.

United Statesmy first single room 9 was terribly small and uncomfortable I moved to the only other single room, 2 and except for the bed which I find unacceptable, it was excellent. Huge terrace. Other guests were quiet and friendly. Staff: seems to be three brothers. OK. multilingual. Garden is abandoned and trees are damaged and dying. I offered to consult with the gardener (I'm retired landscaper) and as I suspected, there is no gardener. Someone comes every 3 months to chop at the plants. Sad situation. No one cares for what could be a gorgeous property which has many citrus and fig and olive trees.
No breakfast with my single room. Location is superb.
